Barbra Streisand has said she's "profoundly sorry" over remarks she made about two men, who allege they were sexually abused by Michael Jackson as young boys.
James Safechuck and Wade Robson claim Jackson sexually abused them from the ages of 10 and seven respectively, after inviting them and their families to his Neverland ranch.
They revealed their experiences in the 'Leaving Neverland' documentary.
In an interview with The Times in the UK, Streisand said she believed the allegations - but added: "They both married and they both have children, so it didn't kill them."
However she later posted a statement to her official Twitter account on Saturday night.

Streisand said: "I am profoundly sorry for any pain or misunderstanding I caused by not choosing my words more carefully about Michael Jackson and his victims, because the words as printed do not reflect my true feelings.
"I didn't mean to dismiss the trauma these boys experienced in any way.
"Like all survivors of sexual assault, they will have to carry this for the rest of their lives.
"I feel deep remorse and I hope that James and Wade know that I truly respect and admire them for speaking their truth."
